UK Term Assurance: Distribution Dynamics 2024

Summary

This report explores how term assurance customers' purchasing preferences have changed over time. It identifies the most important factors driving term assurance purchases and reveals the most popular providers in the market. In addition, the report discusses the key trends and innovations that will influence the market over the next few years.

GlobalData’s 2024 UK Insurance Consumer Survey found that acquiring a home is a significant catalyst for procuring mortgage-related term assurance. Despite elevated interest rates and the prevailing affordability crisis, purchasing, refinancing, and relocating remain the primary drivers for customers seeking mortgage-related term. In contrast, customers are much less likely to be motivated by a specific trigger in the non-mortgage space.

Scope
  • The insurer channel still leads the non-mortgage-related term assurance market. However, the growing presence of brokers, banks, and PCWs in this segment resulted in insurers’ share falling by 12.9 percentage points (pp) in 2024.
  • The proportion of consumers visiting a price comparison website (PCW) before purchasing mortgage-related term policies increased by 12.9pp from 2023 to 2024. As consumers seek value amid financial constraints, PCWs are poised for growth, enabling individuals to compare policies effectively.
  • The top five providers of non-mortgage-related term assurance now command a more substantial portion of the market compared to their counterparts in the mortgage-related segment, suggesting reduced competition in the former.
Reasons to Buy
  • Understand consumer purchasing decisions in the term assurance space and how these will influence the market over the next few years.
  • Improve customer engagement by recognizing what is most important to them and how to adapt products and services to meet their needs.
  • Compare the Net Promoter Scores of key insurance providers.
  • Discover which providers lead the way in the term assurance space and learn about new product innovations.
  • Adapt your distribution strategy to ensure it still meets customer purchasing behaviors.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
